The Boxing Gloves
15 x 21 cm
Wood engraving
The Boxing Gloves are a gritstone rock formation in the Peak District National Park forming part of Kinder Scout. It’s both bleak and beautiful at the same time.
The engraving is the frontispiece for ‘70 Notices’, a fine press book featuring a poem written by the Poet Laureate, Simon Armitage, to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Peak District. It is published by Andrew Moorhouse and a copy is housed in the Royal Library, Windsor.
These prints are original wood engravings. I engrave on boxwood or lemon wood blocks using traditional hand tools. Then I ink up the block and print the edition one at a time. Each print is an original artist print.
No. of prints in edition: 60
This print is made using Lawrence Original Linseed Oil Relief Ink. The formulas used to create these inks have been in use for hundreds of years and are “free from animal-based or derived ingredients, made with linseed oil, not honey or gelatine”. The paper is archival and acid free.
Each print is signed, dated and editioned in pencil below the image.
